Earth to Sky Calculus - Multitool sent to space?

[Outback in Idaho]

  Am guessing everyone knows about the Earth to Sky Calculus group that sends balloons to the upper stratosphere, and then the items return & studied or sold. Am wondering if anyone has sent a multitool on board one of these, or a multitool knife?

  Would be perty cool if one could sent their multitool to the upper reaches of space, and have proof that their tool has gone to places none other has gone before, into the upper reaches of the atmosphere!

  Would of thought by now some astronaut would of taken their multitool to space, unless TSA confiscated it.


  Earth to Sky Calculus have a Facebook page as well.

Well, we know SAKs have been to space.

I wonder if I could contact Earth to Sky and have them take my ex wife up into space?

To return with or without parachute?

  What was the first SAK sent to space? Did it come back? Wonder if that Tesla car sent to Mars is carrying a multitool too?

  Read that metal takes eons to rust in space, yet if two unlike metals touch they become fused permanently.

  So, I had to go searching.

  Fascinating read too!

  Excerpt: There’s also that great story from astronaut Chris Hadfield about the time he arrived at the Mir space station in 1995. They couldn’t get the hatch open because the Russian engineers sealed the doors a little too well.

  Here’s what Hadfield wrote in his book. “So we did the true space-age thing: we broke into Mir using a Swiss Army knife. Never leave the planet without one.”

A number of Victorinox and some Leatherman MTs have gone into space with astronauts.

A 1959 Camillus?!?!  They made the pocketknives (original multitools if you will) for the US military and the Boy Scouts before they went out of business and then resurrected as a "tactical knife" company.  Thats the short version of their long and interesting history.
